body parts as void dhyana

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

VBT 47 :
Sarvam dehagatam dravyam viyadvyaaptam mrigekshane,
vibhaavayet tatas tasya bhaavanaa saa sthiraa bhavet

Translation :
O Gazelle eyed, meditate on all the body constituents as void, so that thought becomes steadied.

How to do :
In the previous sutra, it is explained to feel the entire body as void simultaneously. Here in this sutra, it is explained to take each body constituent and meditate as void. Meditation of body parts as void has to be done part by part. Then, the nirvikalpa (thoughtless state) becomes steady.
